I found this place looking through all those parenting magazines you find for free in libraries. Bill Jenkins World of Music is a great resource that you can tap into when you are trying to bring different parts of the world alive. Bill Jenkins has amassed a wide variety of musical instruments which he uses at his studio or when he visits schools to highlight Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and American Roots.
He also has created programs that can highlight instrumentation like "The Four Instrument Families" and "Making Musical Instruments," a program that highlights specific skills like "Using Drums and Rhythms to Teach Math" and programs that highlight specific regions like "Music of the Rainforest", "The Latin Rhythm Section" and "Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome." These programs are all hands on and they enable students to play as well as listen to new musical patterns, instruments and traditions.
Bill Jenkins would be a great resource to bring to your school or for you to add to an all day trip in which he adds the musical element for your day abroad.
